I'm still here. I've fallen behind on a publishing deadline and I've been on my own with the kids the past few weekends, so I haven't had time to push. It looks like we lost a couple again. I'll aim for Saturday morning to push.
I removed the optional encounter and moved you all ahead to the chase.
Sorry. I know this scenario has moved like mud. I addition, this past month, there have been some things happening with me that have kept my attention on the boards minimal. However, you have reached the final encounter/fight if you're willing to play it "hard mode," i.e. with 3 players, you can finish.
I'm leaving on a weekend trip with my kids today, then I should have enough attention to finish out this fight.
Wow. Apologies. I thought I was only 2 weeks behind, which isn't something to be proud of. I will get you through this scenario, though!
Hopefully, it won't take too long to improve my current problems—resolving them in a scale less than years might be aiming too high—and I'll be able to come back to PbP.
But I will finish this fight and get you your chronicles!

I'm going to wait to post to see what Hep and Maria can do. Maybe Hep can suck up Vilk's AO and/or Maria can put the wolf down. Cause if Holan-Ji stands, the wolf and Vilk will both AO him and he'll drop - both prone from being tripped by the hound again and unconscious from 2 more hits.
Understood. I had been waiting for you to unleash attacks to take one of them out.
I’ll try to finish off the wolfhound.
Shortly after I posted my last post, my mother fell and broke her hip and then I had a kidney stone drop.
I don't think 2025 is my year.
He used his Move action last round to stand, so he's not Prone.
Correct! Sorry. It was a cut and paste fail.
I don't think he'd survive 4 doses if it were to come to that. :X
Apologies for the rocky, limping finish. I hope Lady Ladile is healthy and well.
The scenario doesn't have much of a conclusion, but if you want to talk to Vilk, feel free.
His survival earns the 2nd PP.
You can make your Day Job rolls.
Hep, did you want to sell back the 3 unused wolfsbane doses?

Thoughts on how to proceed with the group? My feeling is we need to recruit 1-2 player/gms.If you can get good reliable people with a proven record of consistency and RP that are up for rotating GM duties also, than I'll stick around. But TBH, maybe it's time to move on.
I guess the first question then should actually be, are the four of us each still interested in buying in fully for more scenarios?
For the record I am in for it. But if we dissolve that’s acceptable as well.
Yes. Sorry for not answering the question more promptly.
This campaign has been great, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play my Charity Boon character for as many levels as I have.
However, 1) 2025 has been full of challenges that left me with less free time than I'm accustomed to, and 2) my interest in remembering 1e rules is swiftly fading as I've been playing mainly 2e since it released, and both of those make for a bad PbP GM and slow player.
I've reported the session and mailed out Chronicles.
Hep, here's yours: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D9LCZLioz5GEidn5VwQXoNo4d2vc9jgn/view?usp= sharing
Thanks for the fun adventuring over the years! (and apologies again about the poor ending)

Chronicle looks good, thank you.
Would you be willing to share what we failed to do or needed to do to avoid the negative boon on it? I don’t think we put much effort into anything so I sorta understand why we may have failed, but just wonder how.
It also isn’t really a serious bad boon so I’m not stressing over it.
Oh? It didn’t give me an option to cross anything off on RPGChronicles. I think I know what the criteria were, and you should be safe. I’ll check after the weekend and can modify the PDFs manually.

I can just line through that negative boon on mine myself; no need to redo it for me.
It was indeed a great run, and don't fret over the ending. I too am moving on to 2e more, and SF2 soon. This was my only PF1 table going, and playing Holan-Ji here is a nice ending.
Thanks to you all, and I hope to see you at other tables in the future.

Ditto on the boon.
I played my fill of pfs2 when it started and was pretty much done with it when the remaster rolled through, which has prevented me from having any interest in going back at this time. I like building PCs but rebuilding them doesn’t appeal to me oddly enough. Probably someday I’ll come back.
I may consider sfs2, if the ship combat is worth it. I played one of the test versions and it was basically pfs2 on an alien planet so… eh. But they didn’t have ship combat yet so I’ll wait to see how that works.
Anyway, it was a great run and a great group. See y’all around!

Both for me. I find the 3-action system to be simpler than getting wrapped up over "move" actions that are not actually moving.
Also, nearly no enemies have AOs (called Reactive Strikes) in the early levels. It comes online for players and enemies at later levels.
There's no free 5-foot step, nor are there Swift actions, but the whole system is just cleaner overall.
And of course, in PbP you have time to look things up. If you want, I can PM you when I run another table. PaizoCon Online PbP play just started this week, so it won't be for another couple months before I do.
Oh, and there's no multi-classing the way Hep (or even Holan-Ji) was built. You can mix features of classes, but it's harder and less rewarding than the 1-level dip everyone did in 1e.
